Daddy's DNA

VERSE 1
I thought the world had something special I was missing
My daddy told me not to chase it, didn’t listen
Fell downhill a mile a minute, before I knew it I was living
In a pig sty a long, long way from home

CHORUS
I went running like a rebel
Racked up debts I couldn’t pay
I went dancing with the devil
With one foot in the grave
How the heaven did I get here
Went and threw it all away
All I’ve given you was trouble
All you’ve given me was grace

VERSE 2
The freedom I was chasing felt like prison
Lord, I’ve done so many things I wish I didn’t
After all the risky business could I ever be forgiven
I’m afraid to even ask to come back home

CHORUS
I went running like a rebel
Racked up debts I couldn’t pay
I went dancing with the devil
With one foot in the grave
How the heaven did I get here
Went and threw it all away
All I’ve given you was trouble
All you’ve given me was grace

VERSE 3
When I sobered up and came back to my senses
I was too far gone to make up all the distance
Gambled all that I’d been given, I was broke, alone and wishing…
That I could turn around and go back home
When I heard the sound of footsteps down the road

CHORUS 2
You came running like rebel
Paid off debts I couldn’t pay
You went dancing with the devil
Sent that liar to his grave
How the heaven did I get here
Where all my sins have been erased
All I’ve given you is trouble
All you’ve given me is grace

VERSE 4
There was something in the marrow
Always coursing through my veins
Running deeper than the rubble
Is My Daddy’s DNA
